ROCHESTER — The Planning Board on Monday approved a subdivision on Glenwood Avenue, as part of plans to build new homes for the elderly.

At 17 Glenwood Ave., two buildings, with six residential units each, already exist on the parcel, which is approximately 2.5 acres in size. The board on Monday approved a three-lot subdivision, with each of the existing buildings being on its own lot, and a new building to be constructed on the third lot.

Rick Lundborn, of Norway Plains Associates, said the new building would have 24 one-bedroom units for the elderly. He said residents would have to be 62 years of age or older to live there.

While the plans for the building have not yet been approved, the Planning Board on Monday approved the subdivision as part of the plans.

During the board’s discussion of the plans, Planning Board Vice Chairman Derek Peters noted the board had previously approved other projects, which had been approved initially as elderly housing, but had later changed to housing for all ages. One such project, he said, was Wyandotte Falls. He said such changes are not fair to the taxpayers or the quality of life for the elderly residents.

Lundborn assured the board that the new development would not be for all ages, and would remain for residents 62 years of age and older.

The plans for the building will come back before the Planning Board at a later date.

Plans for several storage buildings on Highland Street were also accepted as complete by the Planning Board on Monday. Sensible Self Storage, LLC, is planning to build six storage buildings on 201 Highland St. as part of the first phase of the project, and additional five buildings as part of the second phase. The board will review the plans further on July 15.

Also Monday, the Planning Board approved plans for the Rubber Group to create an additional 71 parking spaces at 22 Nadeau Drive.
